Summary
Parents commonly induce feelings of guilt and shame in adolescents as part of the socialization process. Preliminary evidence indicates that parental guilt induction and shaming are associated with less routine disclosure and greater secrecy among adolescents. However, little research has explored these associations, and it has focused entirely on psychologically controlling forms of guilt induction. The present chapter highlights distinctions between parental guilt induction and shaming, including their overlap with related constructs such as parental psychological control and inductive discipline. We then outline empirical and conceptual links between parental guilt induction or shaming and adolescent information management, focusing on how these associations likely depend on the extent to which the parenting practice feels psychologically controlling to youth. As part of this discussion, we highlight individual, cultural, relational, and situational factors that may impact these perceptions and associations. We end with suggestions for future research in this area.
